Meier Hall Addition
The contractor is prepared to mobilize the Meier Hall site next week. This will begin with fencing the area, starting late next week, and preparing for the blasting for the foundation. Blasting is anticipated to begin in early August.
The contractor anticipates the blasting to occur one to two times per day between the hours of 9 am and 5 pm. All blasting operations will be conducted during daylight hours, and no explosives will be stored at the construction site overnight. The site will be well marked with highly visible signs that detail the whistle warning sequence that will be sounded prior to the commencement of each blast. The whistle warning sequence is as follows:
- Three Long Horns-five minutes before the blast
- Two Long Horns-two minutes before the blast
- One Long Horn-All clear to proceed
The contractor is still setting up a blasting notification list, where interested parties can receive a phone call, text message or email immediately prior to each blast. If you would like to be placed on the notification list, call their office at 508.603.5220. Learn more about the Meier Hall Addition.
